* Between the canonical Storyborn, the variations on them as Dreamborn, and the radically different Floodborn (who are actually easier to play if you have another version of the on the field), it's possible for a ''TabletopGame/DisneyLorcana'' deck to contain many different versions of the same character and have them coexist on the battlefield.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' is full of these. The time-travel mechanics of a Sburb session almost always end up creating offshoot timelines overlapping with the main one. [[ResetButton Scratching]] a session creates a new universe where the players and guardian roles are swapped. It is thus easy to meet and work with counterparts.
** Aradia gathered thousands of alternate selves to help fight the Black King in the troll session.
** [[spoiler:Jane]] finally meets her pre-Scratch counterpart [[spoiler:Nannasprite]] before the final battle. [[spoiler:And there's a second Nannasprite [[ItMakesSenseInContext due to the retcon.]]]] They end up fighting together.
** Thousands of ghost versions of the troll players from doomed timelines are brought together to fight [[spoiler:Lord English]] near the end of the comic.

** ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'':
The three main antagonists are Mobster Kingpin and his two alternate selves: A female version of him named Madam Murel and Mobster Kingpin's imaginary self, Demonhead Monster Kingpin (DMK for short). The three detectives also are allied with several alternate versions of themselves, including Nervous Broad and Hysterical Dame [[DistaffCounterpart (PI and PS' Female Alter Egos)]], Lil' Ace Dick (Ace Dick's Female Alter Ego, except his imagination is so low that his Female Alter Ego is just himself in a wig), Fiesta Ace Dick and Zombie Ace Dick.

Batwoman also meets her alternate counterparts, including a fishwoman version that can only speak in glubs.]]



** In ''ComicBook/BatmanChipZdarsky'', the finale of "The Bat-Man of Gotham" has Batman catapulting through the multiverse, teaming up with his counterparts against their Jokers (who have either got a power boost or ''come back to life'' due to Red Mask).

** In ''ComicBook/TheMultiversity: [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Thunderworld]]'', Dr Sivana contacts other universes to form a League of Sivanas. Notable members include a cartoon snake (presumably the enemy of [[AlternateTooniverse Earth-26's]] Hoppy the Marvel Bunny), a TorturePorn-themed depraved serial murderer Sivana in a bite-mask who even gives Thunderworld!Sivana the creeps, and a respectable scientist who's horrified to realise the others are all criminals.

* Being based on ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'', ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' has various stranded Spider-Men teaming up with [[Characters/MarvelComicsMilesMorales Miles Morales]] to stop Kingpin and get home to their own dimensions. The sequel ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'', exaggerates the trope, with a whole Spider-Society from many different dimensions hundreds strong dedicated to protecting the multiverse.

Unfortunatly, their methods of doing so are, in no way, heroic- they believe that every Spider-Person's loved one must die, referring to this as a "canon event", and take great efforts to ensure that this happens.

* A parody of the Council of Reeds and Kangs from Marvel Comics, the Citadel of Ricks in ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' are hundreds of iterations of Rick Sanchez from across the "central finite curve" of the multiverse who founded the alliance in order to escape the authorities that hunt them down in their own respective universes. The protagonist Rick, Rick C-137, is one of the few Ricks who looks at the citadel and the Council of Ricks that leads it with contempt, seeing the citadel as an abandonment of the "[[IWorkAlone lone wolf]]/every-Rick-for-himself rebel" mindset that Ricks were originally defined by and [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis becoming the very thing they hate]]. The Council in turn see Rick C-137 as a loose cannon with an unhealthy, passionate attachment to his Morty (which the Council see as nothing but accessories that can be switched out and replaced) that could potentially undermine their entire organization. [[spoiler:As it turned out, the Citadel as we know it was originally built by Rick C-137 out of the remnants of a similar organization he had destroyed as part of a peace offering in order to [[CrusadingWidow stymie his bloodlust from pursuing Rick Prime]] by being allowed to quietly settle down in another universe where a version of his daughter Beth was still alive: By-chance it was the very same universe that Rick Prime himself was from.]]
